CNL 2014, Galway Ireland Collocated with COLING 2014

December 18th, 2013 Daniela Lopez de Luise

CNL 2014

Fourth Workshop on Controlled Natural Language (CNL 2014)

Co-located with COLING 2014

20–22 August 2014
Galway, Ireland

This workshop on controlled natural language (CNL) has a broad scope and embraces all approaches that are based on natural language and apply restrictions on vocabulary, grammar, and/or semantics. This includes (but is certainly not limited to) approaches that have been called simplified language, plain language, formalized language, processable language, fragments of language, phraseologies, conceptual authoring, language generation, and guided natural language interfaces.

Some CNLs are designed to improve communication among humans, especially for non-native speakers of the respective natural language. In other cases, the restrictions on the language are supposed to make it easier for computers to analyze such texts in order to improve computer-aided, semi-automatic, or automatic translations into other languages. A third group of CNL has the goal to enable reliable automated reasoning and formal knowledge representation from seemingly natural texts. All these types of CNL are covered by this workshop.

Topics

Possible topics for CNL 2014 include:

  • CNL for knowledge representation
  • CNL for query interfaces
  • CNL for specifications
  • CNL for business rules
  • CNL for dialogue systems
  • CNL for machine translation
  • CNL for improved understandability of texts
  • CNL for natural language generation
  • design of CNLs
  • CNL applications
  • CNL evaluation
  • usability and acceptance of CNL
  • CNL grammars and lexica
  • multilingual CNLs
  • reasoning in CNL
  • spoken CNL
  • CNL in the context of the Semantic Web and Linked Open Data
  • CNL in the government
  • CNL in industry
  • CNL use cases
  • theoretical properties of CNL

Important Dates

Submission deadline: 14 March 2014
Notification of acceptance: 12 May 2014
Deadline for revised papers: 9 June 2014
Workshop: 20–22 August 2014

2nd CFP: CiE 2014: Language, Life, Limits – Budapest, Hungary, 23-27 June, 2014

December 17th, 2013 Daniela Lopez de Luise

2nd CALL FOR PAPERS:

CiE 2014: Language, Life, Limits

Budapest, Hungary

June  23 – 27, 2014

http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu

IMPORTANT DATES:

Submission Deadline for LNCS:                   10 January 2014
Notification of authors:                         3 March 2014
Deadline for final revisions:                   31 March 2014

FUNDING and AWARDS:

CiE 2014 has received funding for student participation from the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science EATCS.  Please contact the PC
chairs if you are interested.

The best student paper will receive an award sponsored by Springer.

CiE 2014 is the tenth conference organized by CiE (Computability in Europe),
a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer scientists,
philosophers, physicists and others interested in new developments in
computability and their underlying significance for the real world. Previous
meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005), Swansea (2006), Siena (2007),
Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011),
Cambridge (2012), and Milan (2013).

The motto of CiE 2014 “Language, Life, Limits” intends to put a special focus
on relations between computational linguistics, natural and biological
computing, and more traditional fields of computability theory.  This is to
be understood in its broadest sense including computational aspects of
problems in linguistics, studying models of computation and algorithms
inspired by physical and biological approaches as well as exhibiting limits
(and non-limits) of computability when considering different models of
computation arising from such approaches.

As with previous CiE conferences the allover glueing perspective is to
strengthen the mutual benefits of analyzing traditional and new computational
paradigms in their corresponding frameworks both with respect to practical
applications and a deeper theoretical understanding.  We particularly invite
papers that build bridges between different parts of the research community.

For topics covered by the conference, please visit
http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu/?Topics
We particularly welcome submissions in emergent areas, such as bioinformatics
and natural computation, where they have a basic connection with
computability.

TUTORIAL SPEAKERS:

Wolfgang Thomas (RWTH Aachen)
Peter Gruenwald  (CWI, Amsterdam)

INVITED SPEAKERS:

Lev Beklemishev           (Steklov Mathematical Institute, Moscow)

ICNC-FSKD 2014 Submissions due 25 January: IEEE Xplore/EI Compendex/ISI

December 17th, 2013 Daniela Lopez de Luise

We cordially invite you to submit a paper to the upcoming 10th International Conference on Natural Computation (ICNC 2014) and the 11th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD 2014), to be jointly held from 19-21 August 2014 in Xiamen, China.

 

With a pleasant subtropical climate, Xiamen is known as one of the most beautiful and liveable cities in China. Famous attractions include Gulangyu Island (credited as a “garden on the sea”, “architecture exhibition of ten thousand nations”, “hometown of music” and “island of piano”), Hulishan Fortress (Guinness World Records on the biggest and smallest cannons), and South Putuo Temple. Excursions may be made to Fujian Tulou, UNESCO World Heritage Sites of fortified dwellings housing up to 80 families.

 

As with the past ICNC-FSKD conferences, all papers in conference proceedings will be submitted to both EI Compendex and ISTP (ISI Proceedings), as well as IEEE Xplore. Extended versions of selected best papers will appear in ICNC-FSKD special issues of Knowledge-Based Systems (Impact Factor: 4.104) and Neural Processing Letters (Impact Factor: 1.240). ICNC-FSKD 2014 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (pending).

 

ICNC-FSKD is a premier international forum for scientists and researchers to present the state of the art of data mining and intelligent methods inspired from nature, particularly biological, linguistic, and physical systems, with applications to computers, circuits, systems, control, robotics, communications, and more. This is an exciting and emerging interdisciplinary area in which a wide range of theory and methodologies are being investigated and developed to tackle complex and challenging problems. The registration fee of US-D390 includes proceedings, lunches, dinners, banquet, coffee breaks, and all technical sessions.

 

To promote international participation of researchers from outside the country/region where the conference is held (i.e., China’s mainland), researchers outside of China’s mainland are encouraged to propose invited sessions. An honorarium of US-D400 will be enjoyed by the organizer(s) for each completed (with at least 6 registered papers) invited session. The first author of each paper in an invited session must not be affiliated with an organization in China’s mainland. “(Invited Paper)” may be added below the title of each paper in the invited sessions. Invited session organizers will solicit submissions, conduct reviews and recommend accept/reject decisions on the submitted papers. Invited session organizers will be able to set their own submission and review schedules, as long as a set of recommended papers is determined by 3 June 2014. Each invited session proposal should include: (1) the name, bio, and contact information of each organizer of the invited session; (2) the title and a short synopsis of the invited session. Please send your proposal to icnc-fskd@xmu.edu.cn
